Radar Vapor Pro Build Slalom Ski – Matte Steel Finish

Description

Created by Matt Rini. Designed for speed and control, the 2026 Vapor is built to create space in the course with effortless efficiency. Hand-crafted at Radar Lake, and designed by Matt Rini, this ski channels water with precision—from tip to tail—transforming subtle hydrodynamic forces into power you can feel. We studied diffraction (the way water bends when it meets an edge) and focused on how a ski can push water forward before it redirects into the tunnel. That forward turbulence is often the force behind unrolling turns, unexpected wheelies, and lost angle across the course. To address this, we blend three unique, complementary rocker lines to smooth water flow and stabilize your stance. The result: fewer wasted movements through the turn, uninterrupted acceleration from apex to wakes, and a more commanding line from gate to gate. The 2026 Vapor won’t fight you—it follows your lead.

Ski Features

Goal one for the redesigned Vapor series was capitalizing on waterflow efficiency throughout the entire length of the ski. With particular emphasis on the waterflow entry point, Matt Rini started at the very tip of the ski and worked his way back. Finding the perfect marriage between top rocker (the bend of the ski you see on the top surface) and the tunnel rocker (the path the tunnel of the ski takes as it arcs up toward the tip) is critical in creating a predictable, balanced platform to stand on as the tip dives into the turn. Stability is king when you need to rip a turn, and the new Vapor delivers.
